EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Escamillo" we are transported back to the vibrant world of the Gaiety Theatre in the late 19th century. The image, a colour lithograph by Percy Anderson, showcases a scene from the popular burlesque production "Carmen Up To Date". At its heart is Escamillo, portrayed with flamboyant charm and confidence. Dressed in an exquisite costume that combines elements of both masculinity and femininity, Escamillo captivates us with their enigmatic presence. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing not only the character's physical beauty but also their inner strength. The setting exudes an air of excitement and anticipation as we catch a glimpse of other characters surrounding Escamillo. This production was known for pushing boundaries and challenging societal norms through its cross-dressing performances. It was a celebration of individuality and freedom of expression during a time when such ideas were often suppressed. As we admire this stunning print, it serves as a reminder of how art has always been at the forefront of social change. Through his work, Anderson immortalizes not only the characters on stage but also pays homage to those who dared to challenge conventions. This photograph transports us back in time while simultaneously inspiring us to embrace our own uniqueness and celebrate diversity today.
